Might do if you wanted rusty springs replaced under warranty otherwise I wouldn't think it would make a difference. Anyway, if you're really concerned about it how long does it take to fit the originals back on before it goes to a dealer for a service?

Thinking a bit further about it, I believe there is a catch all statement in the DP catalogues about all DP accessories needing to be fitted by an approved Ducati service agent, but I think that is down to warranty on the DP part itself rather than the whole bike

How much is Gia charging for the plate & cover?
Plus, what other bits do you need/suggest to complete the 'look'

Mark has quoted me 110 pounds for the plate and cover (open or semi/open), I believe that stainless steel springs/bolts are useful as well. Any suggestions all ?

Just got some stainless springs with bolts from spareshack, cost £14 delivered next day. They are listed on ebay but you can ring them up and order without having to wait for the auction to end.

Thanks Iang will contact them later today

Have seen the post on fitting just hope it is as easy as it sounds, thanks for all advice etc.....

Leeeeeel, It will take you no more than 20 minutes, just make sure that you do not cross the threads on the clutch posts, its easy done and do not use thread lock on the bolts or you will round the heads off when you try to get them out, the spring tension will keep them in.

When you fit the gia moto clutch cover the logo or centre strip points towards the curve in the fairing and does not go straight as you would think, you will see what I mean when you fit it. You will also have to take the rubber gasket off or the cover will hit the fairing.

Love this site top tips all round. Did you torque the clutch post spring bolts or just tighten them ?

Wonder if a few of us could order all at the same time and get a little discount, Might also encourage Mark to make up some new bits like reservoir and fuel caps etc, if he knows we can support him from time to time with bling moments
